It is a beautiful time in spring to have a Burr Mansion Wedding- the gentle hum of the ocean and the chimes of the buoys wrapped with the smell of the ocean salt, struck a buzzing cord of pleasantness. Nicolas and Amanda indeed had their dream wedding at the Burr Mansion venue. The venue gave off the needed tranquility for this simple and classy wedding- according to Nicolas and Amanda they needed to keep it simple, just wanted to have a Burr Mansion Wedding of about 50 guests in total. It was really worth it!
Nicolas and Amanda met on Hinge, where their love story began. Nicolas says Amanda’s smile was what did the magic. He couldn’t resist but ask her out, and had frequent dates with her at some of the beautiful parks around their area, and of course, the friendship has grown now to a lifetime love and togetherness.
This Burr Mansion Wedding of theirs was everything gorgeous, from the colour selections- shades of whites and blues with gold accents to the outfits by Cherished Bridals Sample Boutique, to the hair and make-up discreetly done by Mathew Evan down to the sumptuous catering done by Fitzgerald Fine Catering.

Burr Family Commack
The Burr family came to America first from England in 1630 and finally settled in Commack, Long Island, in 1656, where they acquired 166 acres of land. The Burr family adapted in Commack and got quite wealthy. Their farm then was located where the Home Depot shopping center now stands, at the corner of Larkfield Road and Jericho Turnpike.
The Burrs reared harness horses like Lady Suffolk, a famous Long Island racehorse. Smith Burr’s son, Carll S, (1831-1916), continued the horse breeding business, opening a well-known training school with a half-mile track behind his house on Burr Road. Fast-forward to when Carll Burr enlarged his father’s house, originally built in 1832, and remodeled it in the French Second Empire style. This Mansion is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
